Geneva Watch: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (Updated)

As we continue to wait for the official press launch, more pictures leak out showing Lamborghini’s new V12-powered Aventador LP700-4. These most recent pictures provide a better view of a new Lamborghini colour, which we understand to be called Arancio Argos – and which in case you’re wondering is an orange rather than red hue.

The LP700-4 Aventador is powered by a brand-new V12 engine of 6.5-litres in capacity, producing 690 bhp and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is connected to a Graziano ISR 7-speed transmission and Haldex all-wheel drive system that enables the super sports car to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 217 mph.

The Aventador arrives at perhaps the most competitive period in the history of Maranello supercars – Pagani’s Hyuara, Ferrari’s FF and Lamborghini’s Aventador will all be launched at next week’s Geneva Motor Show. If you’re in the market for a super sportscar, then you’d better get your cheque book out, because resistance will be futile…

We will continue to update this article as we receive further pictures, but at the rate which the leaks are coming out, let’s just hope there’s enough of a story left for the official launch next week..
